The STX21 mount is essentially mechanical, there are no
electronics, gyro’s or IMU’s attached. The electronics
necessary for the operation of the mount is contained in a separate housing called the STX controller. The STX controller must be connected to an IMU, like an Applanix or a Novatel. The controller uses the IMU attitude output data to level the mount in real time. Note that this mount
will only work if your sensor system uses an IMU and if the IMU data can be sent to the STX controller.

FMS compatibility:

If required the STX controller can be expanded at will by adding a number of modules such as the Track’Air Flight Management module, an Applanix AP IMU module, a Riegl Lidar control module, etc.

and can be manufactured on demand in any size, even
larger sizes, as long as it fits within the width of the airplane.

Distinguishable features:

Contrary to other mount designs, the STX open circular gimbal allows the sensor system to be fixed into the mount so as to be as low as possible above the airplane hole.
